Artist Statement

My photographic practice investigates the relationship between time, memory, and the subconscious, exploring how they shape our perception of ourselves, others, and the places we inhabit.

Memory is the primary instrument of my research: an inexhaustible source through which past, present, and future continuously overlap. I am interested in what remains of an experience, and in the way memory simultaneously preserves and transforms it. Through this process, photography becomes a space where presence and absence, reality and recollection, coexist.

I often root my research in communities, where the relationship between people, place, and time is closely connected to the rhythms of nature, family, growth, and care. These environments allow me to investigate belonging and the meaning of place, while observing the cyclical nature of life and the inevitable processes of change and disappearance within it.

I am increasingly interested in our desire to preserve what is temporary: the impulse to hold onto people, places, experiences, and memories as they move beyond our reach. Preservation can be an act of care, but it can also become a way of resisting change. In this tension, I find a space to reflect on attachment, loss, and our need to give permanence to what is inherently transient.

My photographic process is slow and deliberate. I construct images rather than simply capture them, allowing myself time to enter a place, observe its rhythms, and respond to what emerges. I often return to the same places, aware that repetition never produces the same experience: the place changes, and so does my perception of it.

Through photography, I seek to explore the fragile relationship between what we try to hold onto and what inevitably changes, and to understand how memory continually reshapes our sense of belonging, identity, and place.
